The Return Of The Space Cowboy was awarded the following British Phonographic Industry (BPI) Certified Awards - Silver (200,000 sales) and Gold (400,000 sales) on 1 November 1994. A Platinum award for 600,000 sales was awarded on 1 October 1996.

Later releases of the album have the first letter of the word "Cowboy" on the front cover incorrectly printed in lower case. The original UK release from 1994 has it printed correctly. Additionally, the first release has a different inlay booklet- - featuring individual photos of Stuart, Wallis, Toby and Derrick. There are no "thank you's" from Derrick in this version. Later releases include a group photo and "thank you's" from Derrick.

An audible 'pop' can be heard on track 6 (The Kids) at around 2:59.

Great packaging with a rougher paper sleeve and a gatefold with the identity of Jay Kay full-blown. Includes an extended version of Stillness In Time with the samba-esque ending which was released on the single afterwards. Weirdly, the album is strangely pressed all at 45 RPM.
